Secondary sedimentation

Reliable system operation

The sludge that is removed consists of settled phosphates and bacteria, some of the sludge is pumped away into the clarifier and some is fed back into the treatment process, whereby the water is provided with new bacteria. The sludge level is monitored in order to calculate the exact quantity of recirculated material. For optimum water quality, the pH, turbidity, and nitrate values are also monitored.

Using solutions from Phoenix Contact, you can ensure the uninterrupted operation of your system and, thanks to wireless process data communication, you can keep an eye on your system at all times.

You can also benefit from the advantages of Bluetooth technology when it comes to transmitting digital and analog process values.

Increase system availability using surge protection

Solutions for surge protection in secondary sedimentation

In water management, the availability of measuring signals, data communication, and control technology is an essential requirement for reliable system operation. Long communication paths as well as switching operations of large pumps and drives make the use of surge protection indispensable.

Wireless data communication with Bluetooth in secondary sedimentation

Whether PROFIBUS or PROFINET: achieve optimum water quality by safely monitoring the secondary sedimentation process. Use Bluetooth as an inexpensive alternative, e.g., for slip rings.

Process values from the clarifier are reliably transmitted to the superior control level. Avoid interference-prone slip ring transmission, which often involves a high degree of installation and maintenance effort.
